XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX WED APRIL 27, 2005 09:01:25 ET XXXXX
AIR AMERICA RADIO INVESTIGATED AFTER BUSH 'GUNSHOTS'
**Exclusive**
The red-hot rhetoric over Social Security on liberal talkradio network AIR AMERICA has caught the attention of the Secret Service, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
Government officials are reviewing a skit which aired on the network Monday evening -- a skit featuring an apparent gunshot warning to the president!
The announcer: "A spoiled child is telling us our Social Security isn't safe anymore, so he is going to fix it for us. Well, here's your answer, you ungrateful whelp: [audio sound of 4 gunshots being fired.] Just try it, you little bastard. [audio of gun being cocked]."
The audio production at the center of the controversy aired during opening minutes of The Randi Rhodes Show.
"What is with all the killing?" Rhodes said, laughing, after the clip aired.
"Even joking about shooting the president is a crime, let alone doing it on national radio... we are taking this very seriously," a government source explained.
[A Randi Rhodes Fan site is offering an mp3 clip of the broadcast.]
Developing...
Now on Drudge:
"WHITE HOUSE SPOKESMAN MCCLELLAN CALLS AIR AMERICA SKIT 'VERY INAPPROPRIATE AND OVER THE LINE' "
"AIR AMERICA HOST RANDI RHODES APOLOGIZED WEDNESDAY FOR THE NETWORK'S AIRING OF A SKIT WHICH APPEARED TO TIE A GUNSHOT THREAT TO PRESIDENT BUSH... 'IT WAS A LAME ATTEMPT AT HUMOR, I APOLOGIZE... IT WAS BAD'..."
Who the f-ck was Randi Rhodes before this radio gig? I've never heard of her.
Before Air America she was heard here in South Florida on WJNO. She was on after Rush, 3-7pm. Somebody somewhere said, "You know, we need someone to counter Rush, he's on for three hours!" So in essence, Rush got her the job, lol.
I remember she claimed that CC would not take her national, because Rush threaten to quite. LOL, that is what I heard. AAR are the real not ready for primetime players.
Welcome newbie! It's so rare now-a-days to get a newbie that isn't a full blown troll on the first day. I hope you find your time here enjoyable.
I don't remember any rightwing radio hosts or columnists or standarbearers or individuals that had fantasies that only a person possessed by the ghost of John Wilkes Booth would have.
They are the orcs of Tolkien's allegorical Lord of the Rings.
How about a FINE which will put them out of business.
"Who the f- was Randi Rhodes before this radio gig? I've never heard of her."
Don't know, don't care since she's so irrelevant. But the saying "Rhode hard and put away wet" comes to mind.
eh heh...
You must be thinking about WBAI on FM. They're so far to the left, they're falling off the edge. WLIB during the old days would have crotchety Mark Riley and Gary Byrd but that's why I never listened in when they were on.
Randi Rhodes is a self hating Jew that bashes Israel at every opportunity. She is Jewish but changed her name to Randi Rhodes.
Here is a short bio on this marxist skank. She's another high school educated foreign policy expert just like Janeen Garafolo and the rest of the rats over at "Hot Air America" that have no formal trianing in anything except spewing hate:

That's a funny thing about libs.
They don't like the real world. Look at Michael Jackson. If you were born Jewish you have to attack the Jewish homeland; If you're Christian, you have to promote pagan practices; If you were in the military you have to undermine their efforts by calling any politicians that stick their neck out to side with the USA "bribed and coerced"; If you are technically an American you have to try to advance other countries' agendas...
You're absolutely right, Modern day liberalism should be classified by the AMA as a mental disorder.
Oooorahhhh! and Semper Fi
Only by accident. It's one number away from America Right on XM radio, and the mistake is easy to make.
Chloe, A.K.A. Ramba!
Or 40 miles of bad rhode...
WBAI-yes, I think you're right; sorry about that!
That's okay. I knew immediately which station you were referring to. They've gotten WORSE since firing one of my favorite hosts. They're completely unlistenable.
But the power of Christ compels us..
